Gun Free Zones obviously don't work to prevent school shootings.
So why isn't anyone calling for their ban?

Everyone says how moderate you are
Damned near a centrist.
When does the downvoting start?

Dems need more than passing a bill raising the gun age to prevent the cataclysmic beatdown they will get in November. What I could see them do (like someone else said): Propose the increase in age, along with a bunch of other bullshit nobody wants, and dare republicans to oppose it. Republicans would vote it down, if Dems put enough stupid shit in the bill. Then Dems campaign for 2-3 months with the Republican no vote being the center of their campaigns. You watch. Welcome to American politics.
I know people who are 26 or 27 who are less mature than an 18 year old in the 60s, 70, or 80s.
My parents let me stay home alone when I was 10 and walk to school with other kids when I was in kindergarten. Today these helicopter Karen cunts would sic CPS on them.
I just cut and paste this from my comment two weeks ago in the Race thread:
I have always been an ardent supporter of 18 year olds being able to buy weapons as that is legal majority in this country, but my stance is softening on that. 18 year olds now are not the same as they were in Race's day or even mine. In Race's day most 18 year olds were working at the Ford factory and freshly married with a bun in the oven. In other words, men already. In my day they were getting a bit softer but not that soft, but 30 years later and the vast majority of kids are nowhere near adult mental maturity at 21, much less 18. Kids are so much more sheltered and so much softer than they were 30 to 50 years ago. Hell most of them stay on Mommy and Daddy's car and medical insurance and cell phone plan until they are in their mid-20's. I was on my own at 18. Good luck, write when you find work and/or an education, then work.
My point is we changed the drinking age to 21 because they couldn't make good decisions with booze, but maybe we need to look at gun ownership and even voting now. These kids are soft, and sheltered, and 90% of them just are not ready for adulthood anymore. We have a low expectations and coddling safe space environment for them, so should they really have guns and get to vote when they don't know shit about life yet? I don't know I'm just rambling....[/b]
That was my hot take right after it happened and nothings changed with me. If I was King for a day I'd raise the age to 21 because kids are retards much longer now, but at 21 let you own a cannon, bazooka or tank (unfettered). Age is about the only thing I think should be regulated with the 2A.

I'd be interested in looking at expended background checks for under 21. Specifically- i would want to look at their social media. Too many of the folks doing the shooting advertise their intent- For the life of me I can't understand an algorithm like Facebook that doesn't allow nudity, but can't see a dimwad showing off his gat and captioning it with "stay home".
But tit for tat- schools need to step up as well- get rid of the fucking CRT and diversity counselors and step up and say something when kids are bullied, truant, isolated. The tagline is the same- Never really fit in, picked on younger kids, etc.
Sadly, I don't think the anti gun lobby wants any solution outside of restricting/eliminating the purchase and therefore will not honestly compromise to find a workable solution.

21 works with an exemption for those in the military.
I'd also strengthen laws on the books holding the retard parents whose kids take their guns with criminal penalties. The Freeman WA shooter was 14 fucking years old - he got the gun from his daddy's safe. Lock that shit up.
Kids are fucking retards until they are in the late 20's these days. It takes getting dropped off mommy's insurance coverage and kicked out of the basement before they level up for the most part.
